Reorganize Storage

Found space in the cockpit

At Johnson Controls we respond in re3 to the latest consumer demands with compelling HMI, redefined seating architecture, unprecedented levels of storage, and unique packaging of our lithium-ion battery module – all within a small-car environment.

Because of our EcoSpace IP technology, we are able to open up the cockpit area with a structure that safely allows for a large storage compartment across the front of the cockpit – great for storage and convenience.

Break the 2nd Row Barrier

Conversational seating

Sometimes you travel alone, but with this vehicle you can travel with up to five. How can you make a smart environment to facilitate the needs of any of these combinations?

Believe it or not, it started with the gas tank. We realized that if we reduced the gas tank size, we would leave room for a rear seat to flip up and fold. Now the front seat could slide back further to facilitate a more inclusive conversation with the rear passenger or to attend to a baby. We call this engineering innovation “Conversational Seating.”

It’s enabled by our world-class MS Generation 1.7 structures and Roll Form tracks – part of our Core Product Portfolio seen on more than 14 million vehicle seats globally to date. And with all of this moving around, our riACT™ head restraint system meets all safety regulations. That’s how we keep the conversation going in re3.

Enhance HMI

Extended Cluster & Seat Wing

Through Johnson Controls Human Machine Interaction (HMI) approach, we can maximize the user experience while providing other benefits in the vehicle. In re3 we eliminated the center stack, reducing the number of switches and freeing up the space. We then integrated Johnson Controls feature sets that include Mobile Device Gateway and Mobile Commerce, into what we call an “extended cluster.” There is also a complementary physical interface for HVAC that is in a seat-wing on the driver’s seat.

The extended cluster provides an intuitive way to personalize and regulate electronic information. The display to the right of the cluster pair makes menu selection a simple touch and flick. This information transfers to the nearby digital cluster to reprioritize information based on the driver’s hierarchy of needs. The connection is completed as the digital and the analog clusters interact. Close by, the seat-wing provides the most often used controls for HVAC and music, all within easy reach of both the driver and passenger.
